This rose is a cool €3.99 in Tesco.
Hugely enjoyable and refreshing in this glorious heat, a nice light slightly fruity Rose.

La Source Chateau Vignelaure Rose 2014, Privat Cava 2015, Lunch at Ballymaloe
Richard, Marcie, Amy, Ross & Amber joined Lesley and I for lunch at Ballymaloe. No Prosecco but this was a deliciously subtle alternative, tasting of freshly plucked Peaches.

It took a bit of convincing but we finally agreed on a Rose and this one shone on the list. No longer an Irish owned Vineyard, but still as good as ever. Crisp, fresh and good company to the excellent table d’hote at Ballymaloe.
A nice touch.
